The Cit\ has been told by FHA that they do not have enough income potential from the sstem revenues and util- ity taxes to support such a loan, but the Commission has agreed to make the applica- tion and make a study of ways to finance repayment to the satisfaction of FHA. The City needs additional revenues of $73,000 per year from the two sources of in- come to adequately guaran- tee repayment of the loan to FHA's satisfaction The Commission still plans to use these two sources of revenue for repayment, but various ways of doing so will be studied. Presently. plans to be studied include the possibility of a reduced utility tax, with the rate to be Charged all customersfor the full amount of use Another plan takes into consideration 'the increase of the maximum which can now be 'collected :for utility -taxes Presently. no customer can pay over $600 in utility taxes in any one month for any one utility All other utility charges~oqer $60-.00 per month are exempt from the taxes.

Kinder- garten : increased by three- and-a-half units and guidance and library by two. Non-instructional rose from 62 to 119 personnel. Most of the rise in this area was the incorporation of teacher aides; none in 1964, 21 in 1974. Custodians were up six, yard maintenance up two, mainte- nance -up three, bus drivers up seven and two bus mech- anics..

Star Photo Three More Arrested On Marijuana Charge Sheriff Raymond Lawrence announced that three persons were arrested during the past week and charged with sale of marijuana. Lanny Ray Little'of 411 Fourth St., High- land View and Lawrence R. 'Smith of 1023 Long Avenue, Port St. Joe were released after posting bonds of $500.00' each. One juvenile, whose name must be withheld, was released to the -Division of Youth Services. Sheriff Lawrence also noted that cooperation with other law enforcement agencies has resulted in the solving of several recent crimes. After receiving certain information from the Gulf County Sher- iff's. Department, three sub- jects were apprehended by Calhoun County Sheriff's Dept. within an hour of the hold-up of a Blountstown ser- vice station. Arrests are ex- pected momentarily in two burglary cases now under investigation due to informa- 'tion received from other agencies. Rig Feelin Charter Oil Company's second attempt at, finding oil in Gulf County is being made by this drilling rig located in the Edward Ball Game Management Area near Lake Wimico. The rig is operating g for Oil on a round-the-clock-basis by Loff2 ton Drilling Company. A spokes:= man for the firm pointed out that. this attempt is less than five miles from the first exploratory hole drilled near ,Odena in 1973.

Give Him Time President Gerald Ford is catch- ing his lumps now from the media, who like to gloat over the fact that his ratings of popularity have drop- ped from 70 to 47 percent of the people who approve of his actions. When one considers that Pope Paul didn't even make the list of the 10 most admired men in the world, it isn't hard to see how fickle public opinion can be shown as being disenchanted with President Ford. One writer last week put it pretty succinctly when he wrote, "This straightforward man (Presi- dent Ford) deserves a chance to show what he can do without being condemned because he hasn't tidied up the whole world in five months." It's admitted by even his de- tractors that Ford has made a very good impression with the world leaders he has been in contact with. They are impressed with his grasp of the situation. In the United States, however, where he should be supported, he is maligned. It makes one wonder why any man would want to be president of this nation and its fickle people. We think it's to his credit that he hasn't leaped at the first sugges- tions on how to remedy our econ- omic situation, especially when .most of the nation's economists say, "Take it easy don't take steps of too drastic a nature or things will really get in a mess." Since it took three presidents spending far more than the nation was taking in each year to get us in this economic mess, we don't ex- pect Gerald Fordor any other one man to get us out'over night. We're willing to give him time. If there isn't significant progress by the time his term is up, then it is time to consider making other moves. But, at least give the man a chance to do a job he didn't ask for in the first place. Sugar, that ingredient so beloved by all with a sweet -tooth, has become a bit of a problem this year. In just a few.months' time, the cost of sugar has increased almost 300; per cent. Such an in- crease is bad enough for con- suumers to take, but for the 3Girl Scouts in Port St. Joe, it Swill mean having to sell their Traditional product, cookies, -at higher prices. Girl Scout cookies will be $1.25 per box this year. The Board of Directors and :staff of the Girl Scout Council :;of the Apalachee Bend hope ,that the public, aware of the -sugar problem, will see the :'cookie price increase as an inevitable result of the situa- tion. "It is vital that the Cookie Sale be a success this year, in spite of the price increase" said Mrs. John Ebel, Execu- tive Director of the Council. "To facilitate a smoothly operated sale and insure that everyone can get his favorite kind of Girl Scout cookies, the Council has decided to run the sale a bit differently this year," she added. "Start- ing January 7 and running through January 15, Girl Scouts will be going door-to door to take orders of just what kind and how many boxes of cookies people want. No money will be paid for the cookies when the order is taken. Then, from January 31st to February 6, the girls will deliver the cookies order- ed and collect the money." Those persons who are not contacted during the pre- order period may still pur- chase cookies in booths set up around the community during the week-ends of February 7-8 and 14-15. There will also be some door-to-door selling of cookies (not order-taking) during the week of February 10-14 for those who missed the pre-or ering or who wish to buy more cookies. Part of the profits from the Cookie Sale go directly to the ly troops for program materials and expenses. Money made by troops can go toward spe- cial projects or field trips. The money earned by the Council is used for property maintenance and camp ex- penses. A Camp for All Sea- sons, the new facility located on Lake Talquin, has been open for just one summer. Program supplies, kitchen equipment, first aid supplies. and .many other items, are still needed at the camp. The Apalachee Bend Coun- cil sincerely hopes that the price-.,increase will not be too much of a hardship. The Board of Directors would simply like to remind the public that when they buy a box of Girl Scout cookies, they are not only buying a delicious product, but they are also supporting troop and camp programs for the 4,600 Girl Scouts in the Apalachee Bend Council. That is truly getting a lot for the money. The Cookie Chairman for Wetapo is Sally Malone. Those persons who were not contacted and who wish to place an order may do so by calling Mrs. Sally Malone at 648-4373. She will pass the order along to the troop in that area. Cookies will then be delivered on the dates mentioned above. ETAOIN SHRDLU by WESLEY R. RAMSEY City Files of $1,478.22. The Commission also accepted a bid of $2,- 472.60 to Miracle Playground Equipment Company to fur- nish six pieces of playground equipment for the site, also. SPENDING MONEY The Commission took up most of their time Tuesday night spending money. In addition to the money spent for the fence, playground equipment and survey listed above, several other items were purchased under bids also. W. Q. Dowling was the successful bidder for the pur- chase of 600 feet of I2. inch fire hose at a price of $702.00. Neptune Meter Company was awarded a bid of $255.07 each on two special water meters. Holley, Inc., offered a bid of $1,513.78, which was ac- cepted, to provide the mater- ials' necessary to install a sprinkler system on part of the' Fifth Street median to care for planned beautifica- tion of the area. Dr. Bob King was present at Tuesday's meeting asking that the system be put in so the Kiwanis Club could get shrubs planted at least before March. The City agreed to do so just as soon as the mater- ial, bid on Tuesday night, ar- rived. Jim Elliott Dodge of Pan- ama City was awarded a bid to furnish the City with a new police car and a pick-up truck for a total price of $7,270.23. The highest bid of the night was awarded to Rowland Equipment Company to fur- nish the City with a vacuum type street sweeper for $18,- 000. At the time of the bid- ding, the firm had a demon- strator model for $2,000 less, which the Commission voted to buy if it was still available. The new sweeper will re- place an old brush type sweeper. OTHER ACTION In other action, the Com- mission: -Appointed Commissioner Gerald Sullivan as the City's representative .to the board of directors for, the Gulf ;County Ambulance Comnit- tee. -Agreed to apply to the State of Florida for a long term loan to pay off short term obligations against the construction of the Waste- water Treatment Plant. Obli- gations now against the plant are short term state financ- ing agreements. -Tentatively approved a variance for a home on Broad Street which is just a few feet under the require- ments of the zoning ordin- ance. The variance was ten- tatively agreed to since a building permit was issued by mistake and construction already started. It was found later the house didn't quite comply to the square foot requirements. GCCC Trustees Cancel Meeting The regular meeting of the Gulf Coast Community Col- lege District Board of Trus- tees originally scheduled for Thursday. January 9, has been cancelled. The Board rescheduled the meeting for Thursday, January 16. The College Board will meet at 1:15 in the E. A. Gardner Seminar Room at Gulf Coast Community Col- lege. Round one of the Ford executiveship is over. The President has been in office four months and, taking stock, it can be said that Gerald Ford has established a government of decency and geniality but not yet one of action and convincing pur- posefulness. In tone the new administra- tion began auspiciously enough. Although some of Mr. Ford's early decisions provoked criticism, the Pres- ident nonetheless early con- veyed the impression he would move decisively and swiftly on critical issues. He pardoned Richard Nixon. He speedily tackled the sensitive issue of Vietnam war desert- ers and draft evaders. He brought together the nation's leading experts in an econ- omic summit. And he an- nounced a wide-ranging, if unconvincing, economic pro- gram to combat inflation. But, at the end of round one, it is plain that President Ford has not really "govern- ed" or come to grips with the most crucial problem agitat- ing the nation, the state of the economy. The American public's frustration over in- flation and deepening reces- sion are reflected in the latest Gallup poll, which shows that Mr. Ford's popu- larity is at its lowest since he came to power. Only 42 per cent of those questioned ap- prove of the way he is hand- ling his job. That figure was 71 per cent shortly after he took office. The poll contrasts sharply with a New York Times survey of the President's standing overseas, which found that Mr. Ford has favorably impressed the world leaders with whom he has dealt, both in terms of his honesty and affability and his grasp of issues. That is not surprising, given the Presi- dent's innate fine character and his close working rela- tionship with Henry Kissin- ger. Now they wait. After four months the President finally has his personal staff in near-order (not so the Cabi- net) and he has called his experts to the snowy slopes of Colorado for talks that pre- sumably will ultimate in ma- jor policies on energy and the economy. It is thus a long and patient wait in between rounds of the Ford administration. Ameri- cans will continue to do the best they can under the wor- sening circumstances. It can only be hoped that round two will produce more effective leadership. -The Christian S ipnce Monitor Say You Saw It In The Star! For Ambulance call 227-2311 Let me offer my condolences to Roy Gibson, Ferrell Allen, Frank Hannon, Cecil Harrison, Grady Player, Gannon Buzzett and Bill Rish. They feel badly over the showing of Florida in the Sugar Bowl. They shouldn't however, since the Gators gave the Cornhusk- ers a good game. Their big problem was they just didn't know what to do with corn. You shuck and shell it; not ferment it. After the Gators got their first half lead, they just decided they would hold the lid on the Cornhuskers for the last half and let them stew in their own juice just like many north Floridians and south Georgians do their corn and nature would take care of things. Too, you shouldn't worry about John Robert Smith. That odd look on his face is a smile of satisfaction over the job his Auburn Tigers did on Texas. It's time now to settle down back into the stream of things. The holidays are over and the next day off is way off in .July when the Fourth falls on a Friday. That will mean a long week end off. But until then, it's business as usual. It's kind of hard to settle down into the old grind again after Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year coming so close together and providing their welcome holidays. If I could find somebody to pay the bills, I could get accustomed to all those holidays. I just thought you might like to know. I'm not buying gold. I know, it's passing up golden opportunities like this which keeps me pulling my hair trying to make ends meet somewhere along the line. I've settled my desire to buy gold and make a pile of money by rationalizing that you can neither eat, wear, taste, or smell gold. All you can do is let it lay there and look at it. I know of several other things I enjoy looking at more. I guess it's just as well I haven't had a hankering to buy gold since its price has done nothing but go down since it became avail- able to Americans. Come to think of it, that's just what it would have done had I bought up a. Other Edifi Aren Syini President Ford and Round Two U.; Instead of the usual, quickly forgotten or never tried, New Year's res- olutions, today's epistle will be filled with sage sayings (almost all stolen from someone else) which are guaranteed to make your 1975 a better year that is, if you heed a few of them. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Finish each day and be ,done with it, you have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely. Most people work at just 40-50 per cent of their ,capacity. Imagine how the world's output would in- crease if everyone increased their work production by just 10 per cent to only 50 or 60 per cent of their capacity? There is no answer to many of the problems that confront us as a people. We are always going to have the violent, the sticky-fingered, the mentally disturbed and the slow-witted with us. As decent human beings, we must try to help these folks and the other disadvantaged. We must not get the idea that large doses of money can put an end to the situation. It has Green 'N Grassy By Mike Beaudoin been conclusively demon- strated that it cannot. The world expects results. Don't tell others about the labor pains. Show them the baby. If everyone swept in front of his own house, the whole town would be clean. Nothing would be done at all if man waited until he could do it so well that no one could find fault with it. . It is absolutely amazing the good that could be done in this world if no one cared who got the credit for it. Try the one-for-one for- mula: One complaint lodged, one compliment or thanks given. Dare to be different - put a smile in someone's life today. There is no greater satisfaction than that of .seeing an unhappy or sick person smile. Before you start tooting your own horn, be sure there's plenty of juice in your battery. Most people are quick to call with a complaint, but how often have you called to say thanks or give praise? Finally, try this one on you-know-who: I love you more today than I did yesterday and less today than I will tomorrow. Dr. Wesley Grace to Attend Meeting Dr. Wesley Grace of Port St. Joe, is among those regis- tered for the 52nd Annual' Southern Educational Con- gress. of Optometry, Febr- uary 14-18 at the Marriott Motor Hotel in Atlanta. Thirty-seven optometrists and six ophthalmologists will present 114 hours of lectures at the 1975 Congress. Headlin- ing the program will be Drs. Irvin M. Borish, Indiana Uni- versity School of Optometry; David Miller, Harvard Medi- cal School: Among the highlights of the program will be the presen- tation of awards to the South's Optometrist of the Year and the non-optometrist chosen for the Award of Merit. The Congress is sponsored by the Sduthern Council of Optometrists which consists of members in 12 states, two thirds of which require 'edu- cational courses for annual license renewal by optome- trists. Girl Scouts Adopt New Techniques for Conducting Their Annual Cookie Sales goodly supply. If I get desperate for the sight of some gold to set and look at, I'll just take a couple of the lead bars I have resting in the back of the shop and smear some of my gold ink on it and just set down and stare at it for a while. Learn something new every day! I read in the paper the other day where the traditional New Year dish .of hog jowl and blackeye peas is known as "Hoppin' John". I didn't know that! It seems the custom started with the slaves who celebrated the New Year by putting a little "ham" in their blackeye peas. The "ham" happened to be ham, side meat, backbone or, and most usually, hog jowl. This was eaten with collard greens and corn bread to observe the beginning of another year. That's good eating, brother! Another article in the paper the other day was an epistle about a group of kids over near Jacksonville celebrating the New Year with an "old fashioned" hay ride. The words "old fashioned" were theirs. The reason I point this out is that there was a picture with the article showing the kids in the wagon load of hay . pulled by a modern tractor. The wagon even had rubber tired wheels. How old fashioned can you get? I get it on good authority that 1975 will be the "Year of the Rabbit", according to the Chinese calendar. I tried to figure out what we could call the year 1974 if we were to be as imaginative about our years as are the Chinese. The nearest I could come to properly labeling 1974 was to consider the fact that there were more athletic contests on TV in 1974 than ever before. There was Saturday, Sunday and Monday football and baseball, tennis, track, skiing, skating, golf, etc., etc. Too, 1974 was known for its shortages. There was a shortage of everything from gasoline and baby oil to paper clips. The nearest I could come with a proper label was to declare 1974 as the "Year of the Jock-Shorts".

Frye, Jr. Director " 1 GAME AND FRESH WATER FISH COMMISSION ,TALLAHASSEE-To many native Floridians, and I suppose to a few transplants, there is absolutely nothing in creation that can even re- motely compare to hunting season. Whether born and raised in the outdoors with a gun in your hands or bitten by the fateful bug later in life, hunting season is a time when all things routine and normal are cast aside and undivided attention is given to hunting, hunting, hunting. Whether you're in the for- mer or latter category of devotees to hunting, I'm sure you have in recent seasons heard and made more and more comment about how things .aren't the way they used to be. Well, of course, things aren't the same, nothing is and complaining about it only adds to your disappointment. In these ,changing times we 1h'6uli" take a more positive approach to our hunting and for that matter all outdoor pursuits. Obviously a successful trip afield is much more memor- able than the many times we- were skunked, but perhaps we should modify the gauge we use to determine success or failure. Take deer hunting for instance, if meat is the only goal, even at today's prices, beef is cheaper per pound than venison. The same applies to quail, par- ticularly when the price of purchase and training a good bird dog and all the other trap is considered. The list goes on but my point is there's more to it than'the actual harvest, even though I agree, little can compare with a successful hunt. As an example of the rewards of a hunt in terms of other than game, let me relate a recent experience. The.scene was at the camp of a Commission employee on the banks of a river in northeast Florida where I had been invited along with a half dozen other Commission em- ployees for an' evening of fellowship and squirrels a id rice. Now it may sound co'ay but the key ingredient here was the fellowship. Of course, I'm prejudiced, but I honestly wish that everyone could have the opportunity to know and experience the feel- ing of camaraderie that exists amongst the various groups of Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission employees. I'm sure you have a group of friends or co-workers whose company is particularly pleasant and feel as strongly as I do about friendships made and kept over the years. Back to my story. This hunting season, so far, has not been particularly success- ful for any of the group there ,..-that-,night.. As a..matter of fact, it was questionable af we were even going to have enough, squirrels to flavor the rice. As is often the case, how- ever, the shortage of. game was only a minor incon- venience as the many yarns made more humorous than factual helped develop the evening. Added to the recipe were a few hands. dealt in a game of chance for notorious- ly 'small stakes. As all the ingredients were allowed to mellow in the glow of he cabin atmosphere the evening developed. into a complete success. It's hard for me to put down on paper the feeling derived from such' an ex- perience, but, I wouldn't have missed it for the world. As I've already stated, this may have sounded corny to some of you but this one trip made my season a success. Give it a try, there's more than one way to have good times afield.

One such"* change struck me as being rather peculiar. It had the effect of making press interviews mandatory, of players and coaches, if the reporters so desire. Allowing for a "ten minute cooling off period after the game," then dressing rooms were to be opened to reporters. Granted, most coaches court publicity. The more they get, the easier it is to recruit and probably has some effect in the polls--other things being equal. But some coaches don't, or they feel there is a time and place for them. John Wooden of UCLA is probably the most notable. Wooden's refusal to grant interviews, at certain times, probably had a lot to do with the NCAA's action. Apparently he feels his record and the player's performance should speak for itself. For whatever reason it would seem he should have this right. As with any issue, I'm sure this one has twd'w sides. But it's ironic that at a time when the papers.: and TV are filled with objections to government. agencies, industries and companies who pry into people's private lives, the press should pressure for forced interviews.

Classified Ads Get Quick Results Drunks Should Get Treatment Now Rather Than Jail Treat .-lI.T..-. TO BUY? TO SELL? RESULTS? The Myers Act, passed by the Legislature in 1971 and often called a "bill of rights for alcoholics," became fully operational on Jan. 1. :"And in the broad sense, most communities were ready to put all the act's provisions into effect on time," according to S. George Clarke, deputy chief for the Bureau of Alcoholic Rehabilitation, Department Of Health and Rehabilitative Services. The Myers -Act provides that drunks are to be treated as sick people rather than criminals. Instead of taking the so-called "revolving door drunk" to jail, to sober up, .dry out and serve a jail term as was the case in the past, on Jan. 1 police officers were required to send them to a treatment facility. Since pub- lic intoxication has tradition- ally accounted for nearly half of all arrests-92,000 in Flor- ida in 1972 alone-the new approach represents a revol- utionary development in law enforcement. "In order to receive public drunks into treatment in lieu of criminal arrest, the bureau's operational plan for full implementation of the Myers Act called for the esta- blishment of at least one Primary Care Center in each of the 23 Mental Health Board Districts," Clarke said. "We are'ahead of our goal on this project. At least 26 Primary Care Centers were operation- al by Jan. 1. These 26 centers provide a total bed capacity of 572, ranging from six beds in Marathon to 119 beds in Miami. To prepare local personnel staffing Primary Care Cen- ters, the Bureau has provided a traveling team which will train more than 300 people by the time it completes its work this June. The 300 training contacts, in turn, will deal with more than. 10,000 pat- ients in the seven and a half months of the team's operat- ing time. Clarke points to three amendments made to the Myers Act by the last Legis- lature that strengthen chances that Florida will be able to implement the full spectrum of Myers Act' ro- visions with a minimum of problems: First, immunity of law en- forcement officers from criminal and civil suits has been broadened to cover the agency or police department as well as the individual. Second, a physician's testimony for a civil hearing for involuntary treatment provisions of the law can now be given by affidavit as well as in person. This makes it much easier for a physician to give the court the benefit of his judgement. Third, the law as amended allows police to transport public inebriates to any city or county jail or other deten- tion facility and hold them for a 12-hour protective cus- tody period. During the first eight hours of custody, the nearest alcoholism treatment facility is notified that it is responsible for picking up the inebriate and transporting him to treatment. Clarke believes that coop- eration is forthcoming from police throughout most of the state. "We have done a great deal of work orientating law enforcement officials toward implementation, of the Myers Act. Jacksonville serves as an excellent example of the kind of success we are ex- pecting everywhere in the long run. Jacksonville for about a year now has oper- ated a system which in effect features all the provisions of the Myers Act. Mrs..

The lovely St. Pete coed might have a hang-up, but she's still a fetching reminder that the competition commemorates Ben Franklin's birthday on January 17th. Are Ti Portable roadside sign- boards with flashing lights are a safety hazard to the motoring public and are in direct violation of.state and federal regulations on out- door advertising. So says the Florida De- partment of Transportation as it mounts a campaign for more effective control of out- door advertising with parti- cular emphasis on portable signs with flashing lights located on or adjacent to state-maintained right of way. Transportation Secretary Walter L. Revell said a re- cent review of the state's out- door advertising control pro- gram showed the "most pre- valent and most obnoxious 'uncontrolled' outdoor adver- tising at present is the flash- ing light portable signboard." He pointed to the fact this type signboard has increased in great numbers in recent years. "Sign companies have set up rental and leasing pro- grams, making the portable signs available at a reason- able cost and attractive to the small businessman -for short term advertising pro- motions or similar usage:"t Use of flashing lights on outdoor advertising stiuc- tures violates Florida's agreement with the federal government establishing the state's compliance with the Federal Highway Beautifica- tion Act. The act regulates size, lighting and spacing of outdoor advertising signs. Outdoor advertising light- ing regulations specifically prohibit signs which "con- tain, include, or are illumi- nated by any flashing, inter- mittent, or moving light or lights." Excepted are those Roadside Signboards traffic Hazard signs giving public service information such as time, date, temperature, weather or similar information. Also prohibited on outdoor advertising signs are lights which are not effectively shielded to prevent beams or rays from being directed at any portion of the highway. Safety officials point out that sudden flashes of light and-or very intense lights can cause glare and impair the vision of the motorist, inter- fering with the operation of his vehicle and endangering 'himself and others. "This safety factor must be considered in seeking removal of flashing light signboards and other impro- perly lighted billboards from Florida highways,'' Revell emphasized. "We feel the oc- casional, or one-time adver- tiser renting a portable sign- board is unfamiliar with out- door advertising regulations and will be willing to comply as soon as advised of a viola- tion." To speed action on removal of these non-conforming signs, Florida DOT's legal staff is set to accelerate ad- ministrative hearing proce- dures and to coordinate en- forcement efforts with state law enforcement personnel. Failure by the state to ful- fill provisions of the Highway Beautification Act can result in a 10 per cent reduction in federal fund distribution to the state for transportation projects. This could cause re- ductions in a transportation program already crippled by reduced revenues and in- flated construction costs. Teach Children to Keep Toys Off Street Children riding their new Christmas toys on residential roadways increases driving danger warned the Florida Highway Patrol this week. Last year in Florida there were 172 children under the age of 10 years killed in traf- fic accidents. Of that num- ber, 81 were pedestrians and 17 were riding bicycles and tricycles. Colonel Eldrige Beach, director of the Patrol said, "Parents should teach chil- dren to ride their new Christ- mas bicycle or tricycle away from streets or highways which will reduce the chance of an accident while they learn." Young riders should under- stand the dangers of riding bicycles along roadways in. today's traffic and should be taught to ride on the right side of the road as near the edge as possible. Early train- ing may form habits that will help youngsters to respect the need for rules and regu- lations that will carry into later years as automobile drivers. Colonel Beach concluded by saying, "Responsibility for the safety of a child in the street must be shared by his parents as well as the motor- ist. THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 1975 PAGE NINE Changes Are Made In Legal Tax Deductions By: Wanda Brown Schedule B, Dividend & In- terest Income, has been re- instated as a supporting sche- dule for Form 1040 in 1974. Schedule B must be com- pleted and attached to Form 1040 only if a taxpayer's in- come from either dividends or interest exceeds $400.00 for 1974. In addition, a taxpayer cannot file 1040A foF-1974 if his dividend or interest in- come exceeds $400.00. Instead he or she must file Form 1040 and attach Schedule t. This restriction means that fewer wage earners will be able to use Form 1040A for 1974. If a taxpayer's dividend in- come and interest income are each $400.00 or less for 1974, Schedule B does not have to be filed. Instead, a taxpayer reports these types of income on Lines 10 and 11, respec- tively, of Form 1040 or 1040A. Thus, a wage earner can still file Form 1040A if his divi- dend income and interest in- come are each $400.00 or less for 1974. A number of other changes made to 1974 Form 1040 in- volve pension and employee benefit payments and deduc- tions resulting from the Pen- sion Reform Act of 1974. This Act provides new rules for determining the capital gain and ordinary income portions of lump-sum distributions from qualified pension, pro- fit-sharing and stock bonus plans for those distributions made in taxable years of the recipient beginning after 1973. In general, the new rules provide that the portion of a lump-sum distribution attributable to active partici- pation in a plan before 1974 receives capital gain treat- ment, while the portion attri- butable to active participa- tion after 1973 is taxed as ordinary income under.a spe- cial 10-year averaging method. On the 1974 return you can claim the following exemp- tions, as appropriate: One $750.00 exemption for yourself, the taxpayer. One additional $750.00 exemption if you were blind at the end of 1974. One additional $750.00 exemption if, as of Jan. 1, 1975, you were 65 or older. If you and your wife (or husband) file a joint return, then you claim your exemp- tions as though both of you were "taxpayers" whether or not you both had income. In addition to the above "personal" exemptions you are entitled to a $750.00 ex- emption in 1974 for each "dependent" you may have.

The young man, Carlton Black by name, thought he'd give it a try. He registered, received his seed, and stood at the desig- nated line. .and let his seed fly. Fly it did! Right out of the court. Fifty-five feet, five inches, the judges announced S. .which to anyone's know- ledge, is a world record! Asked to what he attributed his "spit power", Black in- formed the crowd, he used to spit rice in college. It's time to start. practic- ing, with rice, with water- melon seeds, or whatever is handy. The Florida Watermelon Seed Spitting contest will be held Sunday, February 2, 1975, at Sea World, Orlando. Any Florida resident can enter. Decision of the judges will be final. The winner will receive a plaque; a lot of recognition across the country. .and a chance to compete in the National Watermelon Seed Spit-off on March 5 to be held at Sea World also.
